Abstract:The study of the size effect was one of the most important subjects in the field of micro-forming. To investigate the stress of the thin sheet in the bulging test with the second order size effect, a constitutive equation considering the strain gradient hardening was proposed. Based on the equation, the stress of the thin sheet during the bulging test was calculated by the finite element method. The bulging tests with various thicknesses of brass sheets and radiuses of punching balls were performed to verify t… Show more
